Acetal
The excellent dimensional stability and toughness of the acetal resin recommends its use for gears, pump impellers, other types of threaded connections such as plugs, mechanical uses. The material has an upper useful temperature limitation of ~105 °C (221 F).
The chemical resistance indicated in the literature shows a wide range of tolerance for various inorganic and organic products. As with many other resins, this formaldehyde polymer will not withstand strong acids, strong alkalis, or oxidizing media.
